Bag ...

I really want a new black handbag for daily use.

The one I had was rive island, and I loved it. Floppy material, bit of a shimmer, but daily use.

Anyway, in a few weeks I might have £300 to spend, on a daily one but I can't find any styles I like.

I want one with pockets, I don't carry a lot, but with straps long enough to put over my shoulder with a thick coat.

I want nice, and leather but I don't think my budget stretches to designer.

Any suggestions?

Have a look on John Lewis - their own brand is very nice and you would pick up a lovely leather bag for less than £100. I have a few designer bags (Mulberry etc) but the John Lewis one is nicer quality.

I was going to say john Lewis too. Also look at designers like Michael kors Tory burch marc by marc jacobs and orla kiely. Orla kiely has some lovely bags on their sale at the moment.

What do we think of this?
I likeit. What i wanted size wise, but also a good one, not cheap and i quite like a label one.

This is gorgeous

Love the Radley. That's a sentence I never thought I would say!

tethersend · 26/01/2014 15:48

I know- I just bought a tan one off eBay and its AMAZING.

I never thought I'd own a Radley, but am a convert. Wade through the purple shite and there's some really nice bags there...

StickEmUpBigStyle · 26/01/2014 16:03

Im also selling some stuff on ebay. Changing style over.

However upaet with that, tried tos ee £160 carvela heels for £20 only worn a few times and hardly any looks.
Madness to me, bargain!

Not sure on thg radley, its vey big and im a size 6. If im not care ful i get 'do you live in it ' comments!

Oh bum, OP, didn't notice that. might be worth looking in RL as it looks like a lovely bag. My mum has the MJ Too Hot to Handle and it's very similar.

tethersend · 26/01/2014 18:55

The grosvenor is smaller than the out of stock JL hobo.

ophiotaurus · 26/01/2014 18:59

What happened to your bag thread tethers? I can't see it any more?

StickEmUpBigStyle · 26/01/2014 19:02

Ive bid on a bad whoch says the biggest size is 35

If that is cm i am very confused, the out of stock bag says 35 cm bit i have just got a take measure out and whatever dimension that is, its very vey big!

What have i got wrong!

John Lewis, Karen Millen and Reiss are the motherlodes of nice, not too expensive handbags in my opinion. I hope you find something nice.

bunnymother · 26/01/2014 19:37

How much is that Longchamp Gatsby python one? It looks lovely.

StickEmUpBigStyle · 26/01/2014 19:43
